The sacred halls of USMB are no place to be when All Hallow's Eve rolls around. With evil lurking behind every crook and nanny, there's no telling what you'll stumble upon when using the light of the moon as your guide. Will the Serial Killer claim the night, or will the Vampire come out of hiding to drain the blood of all that stand in his/her way?

If you're playing, let me know in this thread. Also, PM me the Halloween themed role you wish to play. By role, I am saying something like ghost, grim reaper, alien, pumpkin, etc. This is a U-Pick where the players pick their role. You do NOT, however, pick what ability you receive; that is completely random.

Each round has a leader. That leader selects a certain number of players to go on a mission. Town must always vote to succeed on a mission. Scum may fail it. In even player games, mission 4 may require two failures.

Once a leader proposes a mission, the group up or down votes...

Well, it's not that easy. The later in the game it gets, the easier it becomes.

It's rare to lynch Scum during Day 1, and it's uncommon during Day 2 barring PRs.

There are a lot of different ways to go about catching Scum. Much of it is a matter of opinion.

This is signups for the fifth game.

Game #2 is still going, and I'm planning to bring new elements to the 3rd.

We'll be using a Semi-Closed Setup. This means you'll be given a list of what may be played in our game. What's exactly at play will be unknown. The list is growing, which is why this thread is here sooner. The list of possible roles is here. Some roles are going to make the game...

What this means is that no one will know the list of roles or the factional numbers in each game. So a Doctor could be in the game, or a Tracker, or something simply unheard of. What I do think is fair would be to start constructing a list of all the Roles that might just show up to the party. I can't give Town and Scum a massive amount...

I'm starting to piece together the 3rd game we'll play, and I was thinking of making it a more themed game. Basic mechanics, but themed&#8212;no advanced scenarios or Saw-like situations.
